Goin' Down Swingin'

Downtown's got a bunch of bands
With rock'n'roll six-stringin'
But if I go down, I'm goin' down swingin'
(Oh, yeah)
Do some one-two-steppin'
Do some old Bob Wells' singin'
If I go down, I'm goin' down swingin'

Dallas down to San Anton'
Rollin' like a rolling stone
I'll stop for every flash of neon light
Drivin' down them FM roads
With AM on my radio
Ace in the hole, band play me home tonight
Hammer down on the beat
That po-po said I was speeding
They can lock me up, but I'm goin' down swingin'


(Tell 'em young man)

You're a little country for today
But what the hell, so be it?
If you're goin' down, you're goin' down swingin'
You know you may be behind the times
With this twang thing you're bringin'
If you go down, you're goin' down swingin'

I am what I say I am
You don't like me, I don't give a damn
No-one can please 'em all, and that's alright
You know I ain't no scaredy-crow
I'll put 'em up there toe-to-toe
I ain't gonna ring no bell without a fight
If they think they can knock me out
Boy, they'd better bring it
If I go down, I'm goin' down swingin'

[Instrumental]

(Bring it on, Gordon, bring it on)
(What the world needs now)
(Oh, yeah)
(Yes, sir)

Dallas down to San Anton'
Rollin' like a rolling stone
I'll stop for every flash of neon light
Drivin' down them FM roads
With AM on my radio
Ace in the hole, band play me home tonight
Gonna go see my little gal
Later on this evenin'
She's got some sun-brewed, sweet tea kisses that need stealin'
Gonna hold her tight, hangin' from that back porch ceiling
Watch that hot Texas sun goin' down swingin'

(One, two, three, four)
